What is Inktober, you may ask? It’s an art challenge that takes place every October, encouraging artists of all levels to create one ink drawing each day. Started in 2009 by Jake Parker to help improve drawing skills and build creative habits, Inktober has grown into a worldwide movement that celebrates daily drawing.

Whether you’re a detailed illustrator, a casual doodler, or brand new to drawing, this is your chance to jump in! In our kickoff session, you’ll learn more about the challenge, get inspired, and receive a starter kit that includes a sketchbook, pencils, erasers, pigment pens, and the daily prompt list.

And the fun doesn’t stop there—join us every Wednesday from 5:30–6:30 for open drawing time in the classroom, where you can create, share your work, and connect with fellow artists. Let’s kick off Inktober together and make this month one full of creativity and new friendships!

Registration: $35 for starter kit and kickoff night
